Prediction: wrong Barry   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

It would be wise for Kongo to get this fight to the ground, but he won't and his suspect chin will show again in round 3.

Kongo wins by decision. He has a great TD percentage and is strong in the clinch.

Prediction: wrong Barry   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Kongo's wrestling has improved dramatically. But his latest fights have been plagued by taking some good shots to the chin and injuries. He's been very hesitant to since the Mir fight as well. I love Pat Barry and i hope to see him do some big things in the next couple of years.

Barry was having trouble striking with joey beltran with everything but leg kicks. Kongo takes this one

Kongo won't stand with Barry and takes him down after landing 104 knees to Barry's poor testicle.

I really like both of these guys, but I think Kongo is the better all around fighter. Also, Barry better wear his cup.

Kongo's takedowns are quite good and he always seems super-eager to use them. I'm leaning toward him at this point, with the fight looking a lot like Kongo-Buentello.

Prediction: correct Kongo   wrong Decision  

I like Barry, and I always root for him (along with all Roufussport fighters), but I don't see him winning this fight. As much as the UFC tries to convince us that Kongo is this great striker, he will just use jabs and straights, close the distance, clinch, knee the groin, then take Barry down. Barry is improving, but he is week on the ground. (If Kongo chooses to stand with him, he will get lit up, but he won').

Seriously, never get excited for a Kongo fight, they never live up to potential.

I will root for Barry too, and I think he has a legitimate chance, but Kongo is still a dangerous man.  I'm sure he's desperate for a win at this point too.

Prediction: correct Kongo   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Both fighters are incredibly great kickboxers, but Cheick Kongo has the better all around game. Pat Barry has proven to be very one-dimensional, while Kongo has been working on improving every aspect of his fight game. The one thing that makes me want to pick Barry is the long lay-off for Kongo, but I'm going with Kongo by KO/TKO in round 3.

Prediction: correct Kongo   wrong Decision  

The only way Barry will get the decision will be at the expense of his own balls getting repeatedly hammered and Kongo losing points.
